Glass Cleaners: Prospects Dominating the Boards

I believe rebounding is the most reliable indicator of effort and physical presence. These prospects consistently control the glass, create extra possessions, and limit second-chance shot opportunities. Here we take a look at the prospects who make their presence felt on the boards game by game.    [player_tooltip player_id='2392053' first='Hagen' last='Hurst'] hasn't had a game where his impact wasn't felt on the glass. He dominates the boards with excellent timing, often beating everyone to the ball at its apex while showing quick pop off the floor. Hagen's second jump is what sets him apart, helping him to recover his own misses and clean up teammates' attempts. Hurst stuffs the stat sheet with rebounding production, averaging 12.3 boards per game with 20 double-doubles and two 20+ rebound performances.     [player_tooltip player_id='2558848' first='Kadyn' last='Barnes'] is a walking double-double who makes multiple-effort plays through a high motor, which also translates to his offensive rebounding prowess. Barnes consistently stretches and creates extra possessions through anticipation, positioning, and relentless pursuit of the ball.     This 6'8” rim protector controls the boards through early positioning, using his frame and reach to own the paint and seal off space. He shows remarkable length and verticality, elevating over traffic and snatching the ball at its highest point, often securing rebounds that most players can't reach. [player_tooltip player_id='2554953' first='Tristine' last='Turner'] has a great eye for the ball, which has helped him pull down as many as 20 rebounds in a single game this season, consistently anchoring the post.     At 6-foot-7 and over 300 pounds, Banji Ajasin is nimble and mobile on his feet, rebounding with sheer strength, size, and interior presence, making him a handful to deal with on the glass. He controls his space with an immovable base, rebounds with active hands, and establishes position early with strong leverage. Ajasin is one of the top board-getters in the state at 10.4 rebounds per game.     Ibrahim Allim is a 6'7” prospect with a raw skillset but strong intangibles, always finding ways to make an impact whether it's rebounding, scoring, or blocking shots. Allim has grabbed as many as 27 rebounds in a single game, showcasing unmatched effort and motor. He crashes the glass every possession, runs the floor hard, and combines his length and timing to snatch boards or tip them to himself in traffic.
